Hey Primal, do you think this is a choice or does it just kind of happen to you?
It took a lot of work to get there. I keep talking about neuroplasticity, the obvious thing to me for a long time was that the mushrooms enabled to make lasting changes in the way my brain worked. This was no illusion, I had people I knew tell me how much better I was functioning - there was essential damage done by a brain concussion that left me with delusions, visions, voices in my head, and an inability to plan for the future.
I got back to where I was before that happened, and just kept going. The potential is enormous, and I think only beginning to be recognized.
I had to get to where I was just in the moment all the time, without desire for something else. At any moment at all you, me, anybody has the opportunity to enter the Way. This is the Tao calling you. Buddhism says the same thing, drop your desires by the side of the road and walk to freedom in an instant. It's not constant with me, it never is for anybody SFAIK, but it's there whenever I look for it.
And BTW, this is me totally straight talking to you here. But you wouldn't be able to tell the difference if I was tripping heavily, though my spelling gets worse.

Interesting stuff, Primalsoup. When I think of neuroplasticity and psychedelics I just see it rewiring my brain to make me seek more psychedelics. You lucked out that psychedelics didn't exacerbate the problems you faced after your concussion, but I'm glad that you healed and are still able to have a good and healthy time tripping.

PrimalSoup, it also seems like you know a thing or two about Tao. Maybe it isn't all neuroplasticity (though I believe it's part), but also personal effort. Or would you say the psychedelics changed your mind without much input on your part?

That's tough to say for sure, the healing effects I mean. I'd healed from the concussion over most of a year, though it had serious negative effects on my life, but was left with some verbal damage (some sort of aphasia) that didn't get better over about 5 years. I'd started serious cultivation efforts and with the success of that did the first of a continuing series of runs at transcendental nirvana. 
But what happened was that the residual brain damage got better! Pretty much all by itself, just with the consumption. And it was no coincidence, as I had any number of people comment on the changes without even knowing what was going on.
That clued me in to the power of the mushrooms, and I started working with them deliberately to improve various other aspects of brain function, experimentally. Very interesting and rewarding thing to do.
Took a ten year break, and then came back at it, with even more to show for the effort.  
If you can put the work into it while tripping you can accomplish pretty much anything, and psychedelics can model you what you're trying to accomplish out in ordinary reality, and then help make it real. YMMV.
